Tx, dumping ground for end of the world panic selling, close to zero volume, joke prices. Oh well, will wait and hope nobody nicks it before it finds a new home.

That's why a lot of people aren't going into Bitcon.

One last crash while I've got some cash would be nice. I've still gotta get me some NEO, more SC, a little bit of TRX and maybe one other anon-coin to round out the portfolio.

I've got 3.5 Litecoins.

Can I retire now or should I leave it a week?

**uncle junior** · 21-02-2018, 01:03 PM

^did you collect you Litecoin Cash?

I managed to figure how to get my NEO off into a Neon wallet - and when I went into it this morning just to check, it was all still there - which was good...and now there's a small but steady trickle of GAS...

There's this guy on Twitter doing a LTC giveaway. If you send him half a LTC he'll send you back 4-7 LTC.
Special promotion deal today only. He's on Twitter so I'm sure he's legit.

I wouldn't even know what that is.

It's free money that falls from the sky.

Make sure your umbrella is turned upside down.

There was rumor of a litecoin fork giving people free LTC cash. I haven't heard if it was for real or a scam though. You might have some free coins somewhere.

He will still be angry about it or find something else to replace it with to get angry about. Death; taxes; Smeg getting angry... Three certainties.

He’s just so very, very angry!

Hang on to them, chatter on Amazon preparing to accept LTC and also Zuckerman torn between LTC and BTC. Ignoring these catalysts, could still hit $500 as the first breakout when they release the LitePay debit card allowing people to top up with LTC for actual $$ value.

Easy and straightforward once the Litecoin chain updates, which can take several hours.

Fear not, Venezuela has your backs. Respectability at last.

RIP Bitcoin-a7aa7693-jpg

"President Maduro was quoted as saying in a launch announcement:

"Petro is born and we are going to have a total success for the welfare of Venezuela... The largest and most important companies and blockchain in the world are with Venezuela, we are going to sign agreements."

And it appears the Maduro government was successful in securing buyers. After trip to Dubai, Maduro announced Tuesday that 40 million Petros (out of an offering size of 100 million) had already been placed with institutional investors, leaving the administration wide latitude to offer discounts and other enticements (no word yet on whether Goldman Sachs has already signed on). Members of the public won't be able to buy their Petros for another month.

Developed in secret, the project was spearheaded by a 27-year-old blockchain engineer who, according to Bloomberg, earnestly believes in the power of crypto to rescue one of the world's most repressive regimes from one of the worst economic disasters unfolding anywhere...

However, it turns out that the sale is the culmination of months of work, much of it done quietly by top bureaucrats loyal to Maduro. Working alongside them has been a 27-year-old Venezuelan technology entrepreneur named Gabriel Jimenez, who says he’s spent months helping develop the concept of the Petro and remains certain of its power to fix what ails Venezuela. “This is a lot more ambitious than just a cryptocurrency. It’s a project which I, along with a national and international team, have worked arduously to benefit this country,” says Jimenez. He says he hasn’t been paid for his work and will be compensated only in Petros if the token succeeds.

For the past seven months, Jimenez has been part of a government team working in secret in Caracas to study how cryptocurrencies could alleviate some of Venezuela’s deepest problems, including its recent lack of bank notes. Despite importing billions of banknotes, Venezuela’s worthless currency has struggled to keep up with quadruple-figure inflation that values the highest-denominated bill (100,000 bolivars) at just 50 cents. As a result, ATMs are empty across Caracas, and local banks limit customers to withdrawals equivalent to just a few cents a day.

Rather than build their own system from scratch, the Petro is built atop the ethereum blockchain. Venezuela's petro team reportedly paid a visit to China, where People's Bank of China is supervising crypto trials of its own."

It's real, collected mine this morning.

Sweet.

Too late to do, or still can.

How to do it?

My LTC is on my Nano S Ledger. Do I need to transfer to a certain wallet or exchange to collect them?

I heard the ratio is 10:1 and the current value is around $6. Which sounds a lot.

Cheers.

**baldrick** · 21-02-2018, 03:16 PM

assk the questions on the reddit link I gave

Nano doesn't qualify, which I posted last week. I moved mine to Jaxx just before the fork and out just after. Early trading reached $9, now around 7 but when Yobit finish their maintenance and start receiving LCC deposits I suspect the price will collapse with the masses dumping for whatever they can get.

Edit: If any of your LTC were in a paper wallet or Exodus at fork time then I think you do qualify.

**jabir** · 21-02-2018, 03:47 PM

Baldrick does your ETH mining involve a pool, or a freelance crew? Am thinking to invest some $ in LTC, BTC and ETH, just wondering if the stream justifies the subs fee + costs.

**baldrick** · 21-02-2018, 04:29 PM

my miner - claymore - is directed at nanopool - it does not make that much - about 0.05 a month - it was more for fun and learning than anything
